Armie Hammer has been dropped from another film following sexual assault allegations

• Armie Hammer has exited another project in the wake of a rape allegation, according to Variety.
• Hammer was set to star in the Cold War drama "Billion Dollar Spy."
• The film was the last one on Hammer's slate after he was dropped from other high-profile projects.

Armie Hammer has been dropped from "Billion Dollar Spy" in the wake of sexual assault allegations, according to Variety. It was the last movie remaining on the actor's slate.

Hammer was set to star in the Cold War-drama helmed by filmmaker Amma Asante and co-starring Mads Mikkelsen after he was cast in the real-life story in late 2020.

But a rape allegation, ongoing online controversy, and an open LAPD sexual assault investigation into Hammer have left the one-time A-list actor in a career and publicity freefall.

After being dropped from multiple projects and by his agency and publicist, "Billion Dollar Spy" was the last outstanding movie on Hammer's roster of projects, Variety reported. Every studio that had plans to do business with Hammer before the accusations has now cut ties with the actor.

Hammer first made headlines in January when a slew of alarming but unverified comments and messages attributed to him surfaced on social media. The disturbing conversations ranged from rape and domination fantasies to sexual fantasies involving cannibalism. Hammer has not confirmed the authenticity of these messages.

Two months later, the woman behind one of the accounts that shared the messages came forward with her attorney and publicly accused Hammer of rape during a March press conference. The woman who gave her name as Effie, said she met Hammer on Facebook in 2016 when she was 20. She accused him of mentally, emotionally, and sexually abusing her during their on-and-off relationship between 2016 and 2020.

Effie's accusations are the basis for the LAPD's sexual assault investigation, in which Hammer has been named as the main suspect.

Hammer and his legal team have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, stating all his interactions with sexual partners were "completely consensual."

His only public statement on the matter came after he was dropped from Paramount's "The Offer," a series about the making of "The Godfather," and the romantic comedy "Shotgun Wedding" with Jennifer Lopez.

"I'm not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic, Hammer said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Lionsgate is supporting me in this, and I'm grateful to them for that."

Hammer was meant to star as Brad Reid, a CIA agent in Moscow in "Billion Dollar Spy," opposite Mikkelsen's Adolf Tolkachev, a Soviet engineer. There have been no announcements on possible recasting and the film has not started production yet due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to Variety.

The actor does have a few upcoming roles in projects that finished filming prior to the allegations, including Disney's "Death on the Nile," which is slated for a February 2022 release.
